Black Men and Breast Cancer

By LATEST, LIFESTYLENo Comments

When we talk about breast cancer, most people picture women. But men — especially Black men — are also at risk. And too often, their stories go untold.

In our latest feature, “Black Men and Breast Cancer: Breaking the Silence on a Hidden Battle,” we explore the racial disparities, the personal stories, and the urgent need for awareness in our communities.

Discussing Race, Masculinity and Mental Health with Shaun Flores

Race – Masculinity and Mental Health

By LATEST, PODCAST & RADIONo Comments

Get ready to grab that cup of tea ☕ this Friday at 7 pm for Tea & Chat with a hard-hitting topic which will resonate with the majority of us.

I will be discussing Race, Masculinity and Mental Health 🧠 with Shaun Flores.

At 27 years old, Shaun was diagnosed with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Since then, he has used his experience to help dismantle dated and untrue beliefs about OCD by partnering with various charities. Additionally, this diagnosis ultimately led him down a path of self-discovery; from being consumed by fear and depression to recognising himself as an advocate for those affected by OCD. It is safe to say that Shaun has gone from survivor to thriver with OCD.

Recently, Shaun, appeared on Unapologetic on Channel 4. Hosted by Yinka Bokinni and Zeze Millz, where Shaun discussed OCD and how this affects the black community.

Join me and Shaun on Friday 14th July at 7pm live on LCBN
